Hi @AniManOtaku,

You can checkout this previous thread:

> I know that there is a createFont option in processing’s pc version and that does the conversion of .ttf files to .vlw files. But while using apde I cant even use any external font files and only use the system built it fonts of android. Please help…!!

Also do you have any error logs or ways to see debug information?  
Is your `.ttf` file accessible and valid for a font file? Did you try to load it in Processing Java?
